God I hope not!! I had a period 7 days ago and it lasted 3 days. So I assume I'm not. Plus I only had sex 2 times last cycle and we used condoms.

So I am almost 7 weeks post op and for the last 3-4 days I have felt soo sick. It starts in the morning and its hard to eat or drink because I feel like I'm going to throw up. I have not actually thrown up but I feel on the verge of doing it almost all day long. I never felt sick at all after surgery except 2 times I dumped... Anyone have a clue what's going on??!

Boneless skinless chicken breast cooked all day in a crock pot with fat free chicken broth and soyaki sauce from trader joe's

I have posted this response before but will again. I sometimes will dump from drinking too fast. I was like you and feeling very sick drinking my protein shakes and my dr. Told me I needed to slow down, that it should take anywhere from 45 min to 1 hr to drink 6 oz of liquid. Good luck and see if slowing it down helps!

Erika, it could have just been the drinking too fast that made you dump and not the milk. I know they want us drinking fat free, but 1% isn't that far from fat free... I know every single time I drink too fast or eat jello too fast I dump every time ! Good luck and see if you drink it slower if you dump or don't. I'm betting its from drinking too fast. My Dr. told me it should take me at least 45 min to drink 6 oz. and if not I'm drinking way too fast, and I'm 6 weeks post op.

Finally was able to fit into a dress my husband bout me when we were dating 6 1/2 years ago that never ever fit me!!! It's a regular petite size 14.... Not plus size !!!!! And for the first time in 10 years I can see my girl parts just standing in the mirror.... I forgot that was even there, LOL !!!

If they do have bread crumbs and have high carbs try making the ones I posted the recipe for. It takes a whole 5 min or less to prepare and about 7 min cooking!

Carbs are 1.4g per cake. So if you halve the recipe it would be half the carbs...less than 1g carbs!

Crab Cakes - Low carb, with no crumbs! Submitted by: JPTOWNSEND Introduction A pure, just crab, cake, held together with just a bit of egg and mayo Minutes to Prepare: 5 Minutes to Cook: 7 Number of Servings: 8 Ingredients : Crab meat-canned -16 oz 1 large fresh egg Worcestershire Sauce, Lea & Perrins, 2 tsp Tabasco Sauce, 1 tsp Lime Juice, 1 Tbsp Pepper, red or cayenne, 1/4 tsp Tarragon, 1 tsp Mayo, Smart Balance Omega 3, light, 3 Tbsp Directions Mix egg, mayo and seasonings together. Gently stir in crab. Spray a foil covered cookie sheet with non stick spray, Scoop out 1/4 cup of the mix and dollop onto the cookie sheet. Broil for 7 minutes until browned on the high spots and egg has set. Number of Servings: 8 For those who are not eating very much you can do what I do and halve the recipe. I also use lump crab instead of claw meat.. Taste better!! I put some old bay in for extra kick and measure out the wet mixture in a 1 oz medicine cup so I have the perfect size crab cake with no measuring needed after baking! I make a cocktail sauce to go with it using horseradish and low sugar ketchup that only has 1g sugar.. I believe the crab cakes may have about 2g carbs. The recipe can also be found on sparkpeople.com

I found a recipe for crab cakes that has no bread crumbs.. Only crab, egg, a little fat free mayo and spices and its wonderful!

After only 5 weeks I've had to get rid of most of my clothes... And my underwear are soo big now I have to roll the top down because they come up soo high, Lol !!!

I feel sick, shaky, hot and dizzy when I drink anything too fast!!! I kept having a problem with that, lol! I am having to retrain myself to drink much much slower with smaller sips! My dr. Told me it should take me about an hour to drink 6 oz. so if you are drinking 11-12 in 45 minutes I would say that's probably too fast... When was your surgery? Since I've slowed it down I no longer feel like that after drinking my liquids or god awful protein shakes!!

I fixed chicken and broccoli cheesy bake... Smelled delish! But for me I made 1oz. Low carb crab cakes and they were heaven on my little plate! For dessert I made chocolate chip cookies that made me gag : ( but I had a s.f. Popsicle !! Yummy: )

I've only had dumping twice and it was from drinking too fast because a pill got stuck so I kept drinking sips right after another.. Before I knew it I had drank a whole oz in less then a minute. That time I felt week and dizzy, got hot flashes and my new pouch felt like someone was ripping it out. Second time I ate my jello too quick and had the same experience minus the painful pouch... That was replaced my getting sick on the toilet !!! I quickly learned my lesson on taking small sips and bites and let some time go by in between ! Good luck !

Appt. went well... They put me on soft foods and it taste amazing...like a bit of heaven. At my appt. I had lost 21 lbs. since then I lost another 4... Now on my bi-weekly stall...LOL!!

Anyone else having problems with dairy??? I can't seem to eat any dairy... Cheese, yogurt, milk, sour cream or cottage cheese.... Every time I even take a small bite I'm in the bathroom for hours if u know what I mean!!! Dinner was 1oz of fat free retried beans mixed with lean ground turkey with a small bit of salsa... Made tacos for the family !! It was delicious!!! First time since my surgery 5 weeks ago that I was actually able to eat a whole ounce!!!

I'm starting to think I'm on that trend too!!! I loose 10-15lbs then stall for a week or two then loose another 10-15 lbs then stall!! But I'm still happy I'm loosing my weight and have been reassured its normal !

Had my surgery march 13th... My dr. Cleared me Friday to do any cardio, strength training and abdominal workout. I am currently down 23 lbs.

Whats done is done and there's no need fretting about it! I think you will be fine but go by what YOUR doctor and nutritionist have planned out for you! alc is right, every Dr. has a different plan.... I went from clear fluids to full liquids to pureed food for a month now on soft foods for 2 moths. When i go back in June they will probably put me on regular foods. If you are really concerened about it call the nutritionist Monday and I'm sure she will walk you through your customized plan!

I'm doing pretty well, having a bit of a problem with my blood sugar going too low but I'm going to speak to the Dr. and nut on Monday about that!! Other than that I feel really good! I'm cleared to go swimming, lift weights, any cardio and ab excercises so I'm happy! Good luck!

i had the same thing happen at 2 weeks post op... lost 15 then nothing for about 10 days.. Then one day I woke up and i was loosing again! Just stick to it and it will come off! Just make sure you are getting in all your water and protein!

well im only 1 month post op and it started in the hospital right after surgery, they told me it was because i was not eating and only drinking water for the 3 days I was in here. I bought a test kit with the strips and have been monitoring it on my own every so often. Usually its between 71 and 87 or so only 1 time did it get to 90. but today i ate my egg for breakfast then sipped water around 11 protein shake. 1pm salmon. We then went to the store for about an hr. while we were checking out i started feeling sick and hot and my stomache hurt. i stumbled to the bathroom and had a bm. we rushed home and i took tested my blood and it was at 67. I know that is low but i dont know how low that is. So i drank a protein shake and tested again 2 hrs. later and it was 59 ! So i kept drinking water and eventually it went back up to 72. I didn't drink any juice or sugar stuff because my dr. said no fruit or juice for a year and i was afraid of dumping if i had sugar...

Anybody ever have low blood sugar after surgery? I never had diabetes or anything but since surgery my blood sugar stays around 80, but sometimes it drops lower than 70. Right now it's 59 !!! What the heck is going on??

I'm a month post op and I have to force myself to eat 1 1/2 ounces of anything..... I worry I'm eating too little but the dr. And nut said I'm fine. So they upgraded me to soft foods and said I can eat chili so I had that and it tasted wonderful !!!

At 1 month post op... I can already get into positions I could never do before!!!! And the hubby LOVES it!!!
